Evaluation of scattered radiation in mammography examination with Si detector
Abstract
Monte Carlo simulations for interaction processes of low energy (23-25 keV) X-ray photons, which are commonly used in mammography examinations, are presented in this paper.The contribution of scattered radiation to the total dose is determined using scattering factor and the influence of scattered radiation for measurements with Si detector is investigated.Modelling results are compared with the results of experimental in vitro measurements using a phantom.
